Epsilon?
"It's a letter in Greek, genius." Joley says sarcastically, spitting on the ornate floor.

An hour in jail
Verne's guards took her by the arms and began to drag her away. What!? I did everything you asked! You can't do this to me! I'll get you for this, she thought to herself as she was taken out of the King's presence. She was hauled down the long halls and thrown into the dungeon, landing face-down on the floor. "Enjoy yer stay, missy!" the guards jeered as they left.
You too. Their jeers soon turned into horrified screams as U1's Apocrean hitmen ambushed the guards and consumed them alive.
Then she laid down on the stone floor and smiled.

Not exactly. To the Quarters.
Verne's guards screamed as they were eaten. There was one, however, still alive. "He said the Deserter's Quarters," the man rasped. "And the Deserter's Quarters are what traitors like you get..." He pulled a lever as he was taken by an Apocrean. The guard screamed terribly.
After the latch was pulled, the floor under U1 gave way, leading to the hollow inside of a golden bull. A fire slowly roasted beneath it.

Slow things down a bit.
As she fell, she reached out and pressed against the sides of the shaft to slow her descent. Things suddenly got more interesting. She dropped down the remaining distance and landed inside the golden bull, already feeling a little roasted. Donning her hood and mask to reduce internal injuries, she glanced around for a means of escape.

Raigaizam!
You didn't respond to me.

Thank you, dear fellow.
The spit hit the floor with a splash and Verne strolled over to the spy, the wind blowing in from the windows and rustling his scraggly black hair. "This is my palace. How dare you!" He shouted at the spy. "You spit on me, I spit on you." Verne's slimy saliva darted out of his mouth onto the spy's face. Verne drew his golden dagger, kicking the spy to the floor and holding the dagger to his throat. "Now what..... do you know..... about Epsilon?"

^^^ you mean, her
"It's a letter, now get the f*ck off of me, you weird sh*t head." Joley says, wriggling out of his grip.

When the Swarm speaks, you know you're in deep doo-doo.
Suddenly, the throne room doors swung open, and Unit 2 (the one Joley stabbed through the head earlier) stumbled lazily into the room, black ooze drooling from his mouth. He lifted a long, pointed finger at Verne.

Prison and Verne
Verne stood still, dumbfounded. Then he drew his signature green-tinged Valiance, unleashing a barrage of rounds at the Unit's head. "I'll be back for you," he told the spy, slamming the butt of his gun into her head. "GUARDS!!!" he screamed, running for his personal heli-pad.
The guards jeered at Epsilon as they poked them and spit on them, taking them down the hallway to the dungeon cells. "Epsilon? It's always been a myth. LONG LIVE VERNE!" One said. Another kept quiet, his head low, seemingly sad. "ENOUGH!" He suddenly yelled, lifting his hood.
Aerin knew that Epsilon was his last hope. Whether he lived or died during this encounter, at least he was fighting to free hope. Aerin quickly dove to the nearest guard, impaling him on his Ascended Calibur. He drew the bloody weapon from the body as the other five guards turned in shock. Aerin once more swung, his sword swiftly decapitating the second guard. The guards were aware now, and one drew his gun to shoot at Aerin. But Aerin was too quick. He whacked the sword out of the guard's hand and severed his right arm. Then Aerin heard a deafening noise. Then another. Then two more. Aerin looked down at the four holes in his chest as if they were foreign. This was his last stand. "Die!" He screamed, blood squirting from his mouth onto the shooter. Aerin's blade twirled slightly less elegantly, the crimson blade refracting pain and suffering. His last memory was the sword digging slowly into the guard's neck.
One guard stood untouched and still, shivering, looking at the dead bodies of his fallen comrades. Then he turned. "Sh*t...."
Epsilon Squad was gone.

One means of escape.
"There is a small metal bar still hanging above you. Good luck, U1." said an eerily familiar voice, crawling into U1's head.
HINT: It's the threadmaster.
Tue, 06/03/2014 - 13:55
#165
Finally!
U1 grabbed the metal bar above her, expecting it to do something useful about her situation.
OOC: Thank you. Please reply to the above.

Epic
Jurgen strolled down the hallways, keeping an eye on the prisoners. Lord Verne had gone down this way, and Jurgen had followed him, on Verne's orders. At that moment, he heard a scuffle.
Epsilon. . .
A young person ran down the hallway, helmet askew. He recognized he/her as a member of Epsilon Squad. Jurgen charged up his rocket hammer, and lunged forward.
OOC: Whoever that member is is up to you guys.

Forget you, U1.
Joley sprints off in the opposite direction, and through a door. She ghosts down the corridors, and stops when she finds a room entiteld "Confiscated Goods".
Stepping inside, she approaches a desk. A paper lies on the desk.
"Joley Malakoth- Locker 672. Combination: 1, 14, 7, 9, 8. She runs down to the locker, and punches in the combination on the digital pad left on the locker. As it popped open with a satisfying hiss, she equips herself with her familar gear. Tucking the sword into her belt, she pulls out the pistol and holds it two handed. Stalking through the hallways, she makes good use of that Intelligence 10 rating, and begins to try and find an exit.

Jurgen slammed into Joley at full speed, knocking her about ten down the hallway. He approached her slowly, wating for the right moment to attack.

Mission complete... probably.
Beck watched through the portable camera he had planted in the castle. He took the footage and sent it to his employer, showing a video of Epsilon Squad being taken to the dungeons. Job was to delay them, not end them.
He looked through his window at the main building where all the action was. It looked like some more was happening on the roof with a helipad. Beck picked up a telescope and started to look through it. Then his communicator beeped. He sighed and pushed the button.
"Good, you didn't kill any."
"Mission done as you asked, payment is a yes?"
"Yes, but first you must do some reconnaissance, I want to know where Verne is heading."
"He is going somewhere?"
"Why don't you check it out? He seems to b taking off."
"All right, how do I follow him?"
"I'll find something, just make sure you know where he is going."
"Roger that.”

CAN YOU SMELL THE FREEDOM IN THE AIR? IT IS AFFRAIEL!
[Saboteur awaits his fate in the cell, the night sets in and there was nothing he can do to escape, trapped inside the concrete prison with nothing more than a bed and a toilet. But then, a middle aged old man appears out of nowhere and quickly lays comfortably onto the prison bed, the man wiggles his thick white eye brows at Saboteur when he notices the imposter bomber's presence.]
???: *grins* "Hi there, little asparagus! You keen on getting out?"
Saboteur: *frowns* "Who in the hell are you?"
???: "You can call me Uncle Affraiel! And I am here to get you out!"
Saboteur: "Affraiel... that name sounds familiar... but still, how the hell did you get in here?"
Affraiel: *sneers* "Why do you care? I ain't here to tell you stories, so hurry up and get out of the cell with these..." *throws a lock pick at Saboteur*
Saboteur: *catches the thin needle* "...thanks... uncle Affraiel... " *begins to pick lock* "Hmm, this lock pick isn't made out of metal... what are they made of?"
Affraiel: *annoyed* "Hey, quit your whinning... the lock ain't gonna pick it self..."
[After a few minutes of struggle, Saboteur cracks the lock and slowly opens up the door, the place is quiet and he manages to exit the cell without been detected. Affraiel soon follows after Saboteur, he is wearing prison outfit as well, it is only a wonder how he managed to sneak into Saboteur's cell and even managed to procure a set of lock pick.]
Affraiel: *grins* "Well, I think my job is done here..."
Saboteur: "What do you mean?"
Affraiel: *tabs Saboteur's shoulder* "You are on your own from this point onward, keep the lock pick, it might come handy later on. I will distract the guards and you go and make sure you get to the confisticated goods area, I don't know which locker hold your gears, so good luck finding the right one..."
Saboteur: "Wait, you are not coming along?!"
Affraiel: *shrugs* "Meh, I enjoyed prison life, I never really liked having too much freedom, you however... son, whatever you and your Epsilon friends are up to, I wish you good luck!"
Saboteur: "Thanks affraiel... you are a really cool guy..."
[As soon as they split up, Affraiel makes a sprint to the nearest guard post and starts to make as much noise as possible, drawing the guards of the entire prison block towards him. While Affraiel is having a bare fist battle royal with the guards, Saboteur has already fled the scene.]

COMBAT POWAHS ACTIVATE
Joley sprints forward, and ducks under Jurgen's hammer, and slides down the hall, before scrambling back to her feet, and blasting away at his now exposed back.

Get Out of Jail Not-So-Free Card
"Yer free ta go, missy."
The jail doors opened, and a hot, sweaty & irritated Unit One stepped out. No sooner did she set foot outside the cell than the guard found himself choking in her death grip, with five claws slowly digging their way into his neck. "It's Captain to you. Get out of my sight." She shoved him away and marched angrily out of the dungeon into the hallway.
"Unit 5, status report."
"Helicopter warmed and prepped to go, Cap'."
"Good. Escort our dear King out of the castle, will you darling?"
"Roger that."
U1 smiled and stepped into the throne room, swinging her hips confidently as she walked. All she needed now was to free Unit Zero, and her plan would be complete.

Escape! (well, not really)
After the shots were fired, Joley takes off, easily outrunning Jurgen and swiftly disappearing from sight. She runs and runs and runs, and eventually came to a big door. Opening it, she peers inside, and closes the door as she hears the sounds of guards pounding their feet on the door.
"Oh NO!" She yells as a mysterious black substance drips from the ceiling.

FREEDOM COMPLETE, Affraiel = Reznov
[Saboteur sneaks into the locker area to reclaim his gears, but only to find a pale little girl standing sliently at the front door, judging the bomber with a pair of glowing purple eyes, IT IS MEZIZAS!]
Saboteur: *steps back* "Mezizas? Is that you?"
Mezizas: *tilts her head* "You honestly think you can escape my grasp?!"
Saboteur: "There are thousands of better candidates out there for you to possess, so why me?"
Mezizas: "I never wanted to make this personal, but you have corssed a terrible threashhold... and no one cross the QUEEN!"
[Mezizas is like that one Ex-girlfriend you wished you never had, she breaks apart into a hundred shards of obsidian and engulfs Saboteur with her deadly embrace. While conquering the bomber physically, Mezizas also attacked him telepathically, trying to break his sanity and retake his body.]
Mezizas: *screams into Saboteur's mind* "GIVE IT UP!"
Saboteur: *struggles* "ARRGHHHHHHH!! NEVER!!!"
???: "Hey, sabo!"
Saboteur: "???"
???: "Are you gonna let that woman bossing around all day, or are you gonna stand up and take control?"
Saboteur: "... I get it now..."
Mezizas: "WHAT?!"
Saboteur: "... Uncle Affraiel... I know who you are now, sometimes, you are talking in my mind, sometimes, you are sharing a cell with me, and sometimes... you are me..."
???: "Oh, you finally got it! Good, my work is done here! Actually, U1 killed me a long time ago for a crime I choose to commit... and my spirit has been dwelling this prison ever since... hey, say what, Mezizas can't take on the mind of two beings at once... let's show her what we are made of... time for some good ol' women punching!" *cracks his knuckle*
Mezizas: *trembles* "Wait! Stop, this is not fair! No, NOOO, ARGHHHHHH!!!"
[With the help of Affraiel, Saboteur fights off Mezizas's influence and takes over the obsidian exoskeleton. With Affraiel as his mental backup, saboteur suddenly becomes much more confident than before, he is now rushing towards Vern's throne, ready to overthrow whoever tries rule Haven all for himself.]
She can break my bones, she can rend my flesh
But she can never silence my final heart beat, that shall echo inside this universe, for an eternity.
My heart, why do you beat constantly? Despite knowing that one day I will die just like everything else?
I see, you never gave up on me, so in exchange, I will never give up on you...
Because no force in the universe can match the strength of a human heart...

The Gaze of the Eye
Dark is the Void and its all-seeing Eye!
No shelter for the helpless and weary
No choice left for us but to whimper and die
What's left for our souls gaunt and bleary?
Foul is the Swarm, that Bringer of Death!
Oh, those pitiful souls left to die,
The helpless, the restless, the last of their breath
All now in the Gaze of the Eye.
Watch at your doorstep for times long gone
When you once weren't afraid of the Lie
Hold now your breath as you watch for the dawn
That fled from the Gaze of the Eye.

Unit Zero
The throne room.
It is the place where the innocent are condemned to die in the pits of Gehenna.
It is also where the King keeps his greatest prisoners. Unit One dove under the throne and felt for a button, and pressed it to open up a secret elevator to the dungeon. Time to see what His Majesty keeps down here. She stepped onto the elevator, which automatically began its descent. It settled in a dark, dreary place filled with grease and slime, reeking of death and rot. Her stomach churned when the air reached her nostrils, prompting her to activate her helmet's filtration system.
Her first step was met with a sickening *squelch.* I probably don't want to know what that was. She glanced down and could have sworn she was seeing someone's innards. I shouldn't have looked! I shouldn't have looked...I shouldn't have looked... She warily plodded forward, cringing every time she stepped in something potentially disgusting.
Then that sound reached her ears.
Those who have been on a battlefield know that sound. It is the cry of a despairing soul on the brink of death, crying for the comfort of the one who birthed it. Their screams and pleas began anew, hoping against hope that the one walking into their graves was the one sent to rescue them. Tears trickled down her cheeks as her heart went out to them, knowing full well she would never be able to help them.
Onward she plodded. A strange hexagonal door soon revealed itself to her; when she touched it, it retracted and opened into a decidedly darker room. Inside it was the most hideous creature she had ever seen. Its whole body was mutated and broken; its unnaturally long limbs flailed and flopped like tentacles, its organs were laid bare and strewn about its torso, and its head (or what was left of it) could only be identified by the lone pair of dark, lidless eyes in front of its exposed brain.
"Hello, Captain. It's been a long time since I last saw you. How are you?" the creature asked in its deep, echoing voice.
Unit 1 cleared her throat and resisted the urge to retch. "I've...been better. I've come to free you, Unit Zero."
An awkward pause.
Then he laughed. "Free me? From what? My dear captain, what an impossibly laughable idea!" With a speed faster than anyone would have thought possible, he suddenly grabbed her by her legs and lifted her off the ground. "Ugh! Let me go!" she shrieked, prompting only more laughter. "Tsk tsk tsk, you should have known better than to come down here. Do you know why?" U1 shook her head.
"BECAUSE I HATE YOU!!" he shouted. "YOU PUT ME IN THIS STINKIN' SCRAP PIT, YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SCRAP FILTH!!" He angrily shook her body like a ragdoll, but all she could do was cry. "Please...stop..." she wept bitterly. "Stop!? Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you? Did you stop when I asked you to, way back when? NO!! YOU JUST GAVE ME THAT SICKENING GRIN OF YOURS AND WALKED AWAY!! YOU JUST WAGGED YOUR STUPID HIPS AT ME AND FLIPPED YOUR HAIR LIKE I WAS GARBAGE!! WELL I THINK WE BOTH KNOW HOW WE DISPOSE OF GARBAGE!!"
He flung her to the ground and ripped off her helmet. "Let's take a walk." With that, he grabbed U1 by the hair and dragged her out of the room toward the elevator.

:/
OOC: sometimes I feel like a dog barking at a dead tree...
[As saboteur fights his way into the heart of the Vern's castle with his new obsidian armor, he couldn't help but to try his best to ignore Mezizas's influence, she is strong and is certainly upset that now the bomber is in control, but Affraiel's spirit manages to hold her back long enough for Saboteur to get in front of the final corridor to Vern's throne room. Now there are two void warriors standing between him the the throne room, both of them are armed with obsidian edge, the fight is going to be difficult.]
Unit 14: *points the blade at Saboteur's obsidian armour* "He is one of us..."
Unit 92: "... No... it is Mezizas vuul... the fallen apocrean queen... she is a renegade."
Unit 14: "We do not tolerate exiles..."
Unit 92: *draws sword* "EXTERMINATE!"
[The two void warriors clashed their blade against saboteur's arms, he can feel the darkness emitting from the obsdian edge slowly churring away at his armour. Still haven mastered fully his new found power, Saboteur concentrates his will and transforms both of his hands into the crude shape of a sword and begins to strike back the Void warriors. But U14 and U92 aren't push overs, they phase into the thin air and teleports left and right to throw Saboteur off guard, striking him from multiple directions. Soon, they break Saboteur's guard and pinned him to the ground, U14 catches the opportunity and drives his obsdian edge straight into Saboteur's less protected lower torso, sending an excruciating pain down his body.]
Saboteur: *screams* "ARGHHH!!!" *stabs U14 in the stomach with his blade as revenge*
U14: *dies* "Never say die..."
U92: *drives his blade into Saboteur as well* "DEATH APPROACHES"
[Before U92 can pull the blade out of Saboteur's dying body and land a final strike. A section of his obsidian exoskeleton breaks off and pierced U92's skull, dealing a lethal blow before he could finish Saboteur off. But Saboteur could not carry on anymore, he is nailed to the floor by U14's sword and he is dying slowly due to blood loss.]
Saboteur: *chuckles* "Heh, heh... I will never reach Vern like this... I am done..."
Affraiel: "So you are giving up... pfftt, that is a shame... If I was you I would have never gaven up so easily."
Saboteur: "But I am not you, Affraiel, I am just a bomber from a rag tag team called Omega, the under dog of all the spiral order's squad before Vern took over..."
Affraiel: "And yet here you are, outside the throne room, with ain't nothing but a door standing in your way, why give up?"
Saboteur: "I am just an average day joe... what can I do? Kill a king and throw this world into chaos?"
Affraiel: "His death may bring alot of changes to this world, good ones as well as bad ones... change ain't gonna come without a price! You know this better than many... now stand up soldier boy and break down that DOOR!"
Wed, 06/04/2014 - 21:30
#179
Door broken!
But Saboteur didn't need to break down the door, because a hideous tentacled creature broke it for him from the other end. The stench wafting into Saboteur's nose was nigh-unbearable as the creature strode up to him holding a Void Warrior by the hair. "You. You know this woman?" He held up the warrior aloft, who immediately began screaming in pain and attempted to pull herself up to relieve the tension on her scalp.
Wed, 06/04/2014 - 21:43
#180
OMG
U1: *screams* "ARGHHHH!!!"
U0: "YOU, YOU KNOW THIS WOMAN?" *points at U1*
Saboteur: "..."
[Suddenly, it seems all hope is lost, Saboteur saw U0 and he was knocked speechless by the ugliness of the creature, 'what is this THING?' he thought to himself, 'if he is Vern, then there is no chance in hell I can defeat the guy... what should I say... hey Affraiel, do you know this guy? Any tips on how I can defeat him!']
Affraiel: *whispers to Saboteur* "Unit Zero... the big cheese of the void warriors... the strongest of them all... pretty tough guy, I tried to free him once but I kind of failed... just tell him everything you know and the obsidian armour should take care of the dark stuff he left behind... in your current condition, fighting unit Zero is considered suicide..."
Saboteur: *shakes his head* "No... I don't know who that woman is..."

This isn't good... not at all.
Joley half-yelped as something dragged her foot down, and dragged her into the room. Screaming, she shot a few rounds at it before holstering her pistol. Then, it let her go. She got up, and walked out of the room.
Black tentacles danced across her field of vision. Then, she felt a surge of agony, of sympathetic agony. Closing her eyes, she reaches out with her mind trying to find the source. Then, she realized it was U1. Deciding to help this unfortunate woman, she sprints after her, loathe to return to the castle.
She had no idea she was now bonded to the Swarm.

The Swarm has overtaken this RP.
OOC: .-. what happened but this could have happened in my abscence?
Ralan's eyes blinked rapidly as he regained consciousness. A whirring propellor noise started around 500 feet from Epsilon's position.
Then Ralan's mind went into high gear. Looking out of the entrance to the throne room, he saw a large black tentacle near 'Naige'.
It held an Apocrean unit up high by her hair. This tentacled monster had to be taught his lesson.

A poem.
Over the crest of night's fairest time
Lay a large black monster all covered in slime
He had in his tentacles a woman that squirmed
A woman whose position made her look like a wurm.
The palace in surrounding
was quite resounding
And therefore the time had come.
Epsilon's secondmost member
knew what he had to do
He drew his sword and charged
Into the maw of the blue.

Zero Tolerance
"Ugh, you puny ants disgust me. None of you recognize the scrap filth that TRIED TO MURDER ME!!?? Curse be upon you all!" U0 angrily flung U1 across the room into a wall, then marched after her and hefted her up again as she slid to the floor. "You don't deserve even an ounce of mercy, you worthless gel splat. You deserve nothing less than a slow, agonizing death."
Then U1 laughed.
U0 frowned. "What's so funny?"
She pointed to his lower torso. "Your pants are down." He glanced down and reeled in horror as his legs began moving on their own. "What in the Vog*&!@# #$*#$% *#$%## is this *#$@!?" he screamed, inadvertently dropping U1 on the floor. "You haven't the slightest clue, do you?" she grunted, a bloody grin just beginning to form on her face. "The Swarm is controlling you."
"B-b-but I thought YOU were controlling me!!"
U1 wiped the blood off her mouth and stood up. "Pitiful fool..."

Someone's life hangs in the balance
"Stupid scrap! You'll pay for- what the heck? Who is this whippersnapper?" U0 exclaimed upon noticing the newcomer. He roared angrily as searing bullets tore through his flesh, further disfiguring him. "No! Stop it! That hurts!" he yelled at her, backing away and seeking some kind of cover from the newcomer's bullets.
Before U0 knew what was happening, U1 slammed the throne room doors in his face and welded them shut, sealing him away until he could break free again. She then turned to Joley and bowed her head. "Thank you, Joley. Your assistance was invaluable." She paused, adding, "Also, I would like to apologize for how I treated you in the interrogation room. My methods were...unnecessary. Forgive me."

Joley's having an emergency.
Reloading, Joley keeps the revolver pointed U1.
"You're my ticket out of this madhouse. Now," Joley jerks her head to the door. "Get your guards to stand down, and lead me out of here."
Joley gasps and spasms, dropping the gun as she falls to the floor.
"What the hell is HAPPENING TO ME?" She yells the last part, staggering up. The black tentacles danced across her vision again.

U1 is the one to target now.
"The..... hell?" Ralan thought, the large beast pushed back into the prison. Then he looked at U1, moving towards her.
Verne's helicopter whirred as it rose into the air. "Away from here, now!" He screamed.Then he felt a sensation to his back. Verne was pushed off.
Verne had started to freefall 1000 feet downwards.

unless your me.
Beck watched the figure fall out of the helicopter. Taking his grappling hook, he ran out of the apartment and out into the street. Taking aim, the grapple hook disappeared into the sky. He reeled in the book and started up the building.

Offering help
Unit One cautiously approached Joley with a concerned look on her face. "You appear to have been corrupted." She knelt in front of her and locked eyes with her. "Do you want my help?" she asked, taking Joley's hand in hers and clasping it tight. "I can help you, if you so desire it."
__________
Unit 5 grinned as Verne fell from the helicopter. Now THAT'S how you kill a King! He leaped out of the vehicle and dove after Verne, sword drawn and ready to ensure his victim's death. As he reached the king, he drew back his blade and charged it for a deadly strike.

Not yet.
Beck looked up to see another figure dive after Verne. Peering closer, he saw that it was a void soldier. Looking down, he saw some guards gathering. Quickly, he took the grapple and shot it to the building across the street. It hung onto the top of the building and latched to the railing. Beck adjusted his grip and jammed the pullback trigger. His arm felt like it was pulled out of his socket as he was jerked off the ledge he was on. He refocused and slowed down a little to intercept Verne. As he got closer, he made out the Void warrior drawing its blade. Beck quickly drew his Valiance and shot three times at the blade, before plowing into the falling monarch. As he did, he raised the bayonet of the gun to ward off any more attacks.

:/
OOC: Hmm, I like how U1 decided that it is cool to help a screaming girl instead of a guy who still has an obsidian edge stucked on his stomach.
Saboteur: "... I am not a tough guy like you... Affraiel... I need some help..." *calls to U1* "Unit... one.. is that your name?" *tries to pull out the obsidian edge but failed* "ARGHH! I can't do it... it hurts so much..."
Affraiel: "Great... how dandy! Hey, wait a second, that sword is made of obsidian right?"
Saboteur: "So?"
Affraiel: "Try to obsorb the sword into you! It should work! Come on, you are going to die anyway, so why not give it a shot?"
[Saboteur takes a deep breath, he focuses his mind into the sword, staring into its blade and suddenly, the blade melts and the liquid obsidian is merged into his armour, fixing all the damage as well as the traumas sustained by Saboteur during the fight with U14 and U92. As soon as he stands up, he picks up U92's obsidian edge and backs as far away from U1 and Joley as possible to give himself some breathing space, after all, he does not expect U1 to be so fond of him after killing two of her compatriots.]
Saboteur: *musters up his courage* "Umm, U1... that is your name right? Who is U0? And how did he manage to get into Vern's throne? Or was he there all along?"
Affraiel: *whispers to Saboteur* "Oooh, maybe you should ask her out to a date while you are at it! Lover boy!"
Saboteur: "Hey, I don't need your advice right now!" *turns back to U1 and Joley* "Hey, unit one, maybe you should tell us how to beat U0, if the three (Ralan are you here? four?) of us join forces, maybe we have a chance-" *hears U0 banging against the throne door* "-here he comes!"

I'm fine.... kinda.
"No." Joley mutters, getting up, suppressing the pain. She reloads, then walks up to the door. Turning to Saboteur, her blond hair falls down to her shoulders, and grime covers her face.
"Ready?"

Ready.
"Ready," Ralan says, now with the group. His Final Flourish was ready to feel some Swarm essence.

Ready for what, exactly?
Unit One smiled and shook her head; she couldn't help but admire the childlike courage and can-do spirit these young soldiers exuded. Sighing deeply, she withdrew an Obsidian Crusher and armed it. "You all ready for war?" she said confidently. "Let's get this party started." She planted her bomb on the door and stepped back.
The doors swung open as the bomb exploded, dragging Unit Zero into the vortex with dozens of swirling metal shards (from the door). "NOW!!" U1 shouted as she drew her sword and rushed at him.

Awwww yeah!
Joley opens up on U0, then holsters the gun and leaps at him with her sword. She bounds up, and tries to impale him through the forehead.

Final Flourish Ready
Ralan attacked gracefully, ripping up U0's nearest tentacle. "Die, you swarm b*****d!" He screamed.

Poor Syber
Unit Zero's shield prevented Joley's sword from actually piercing his forehead, but the impact drove him to the floor. He screamed and recoiled as Ralan ripped up one of his tentacles, clutching the bloody stump to maybe stop the bleeding. "MURDERERS!! THIEVES!!" he screamed, trying to find a way to escape. "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!" he cried.
Unit One grimaced at the scene. If only he had cooperated, she mused as she pulled out her Carbine. Maybe we should put him out of his misery. But as she took aim, something else occurred to her.
Beck.
He might like to see his friend again...

Finisher.
Joley approaches his thrashing form, and sheathes the sword. Drawing her Antigua, she slides under the tentacles, and wraps her arms around him, restraining U0. She presses the gun up to his head, and prepares to pull the trigger when... she sees that his face still looked human. This sudden burst of mercy slows her, leaving her open for a deadly riposte.

Prison.
Minutes that passed felt like hours, and hours that passed by felt like days.
Kanoka looked over to the other bed to see Xecea sleeping.
She looked around the cell.
It was a small square room, with bars for windows, and a locked bar door.
There were two beds on each side, and a toilet in the middle of them.
However, one thing that the guards had not counted on was the brittle brick walls.
Kanoka got up from the bed, and punched the wall hard. The wall broke, and the bricks fell to the ground.
Kanoka's hand hurt quite a bit, but she didn't care, but to slow the hurt, she decided to do something else.
"Hey, Wake up Xecea."
"H- Whuh...?"
"The wall's badly constructed. See?"
"Oh... so it is."
*Smashing Noises*
The dust from the rubble leaves Kanoka and Xecea coughing, but after that their escape was simple.
On the desk next to their cell, the two access cards lay.
"Somewhere around here, our gear is stored. Let's start looking."
Xecea and Kanoka dropped on their knees, Sheathing their weapons, and dropping their shields.
Kanoka also drops Verne's badge for good measure.
